Choosing colleges for consulting career. LAC vs large uni

Hi everyone,

I am a transfer student from the New England area and I'm looking to enroll in a 4 year university. I have applied to a plethora of schools that are geared towards my academic rigor, so no I am not looking for ivy league. I want to know which of these non-target schools can give me some pull for a management consulting career. I don't know how to measure how good the school is for me, whether it be prestige, alumni network, endowment, alumni employability rank etc. I have a list of schools from most interested to least interested, I need to know if they have a good reputation. Please help.

Bucknell

St. Lawrence Univ

Lehigh

Baruch Zicklin school of business (ACCEPTED)

Univ of Rochester

Univ of Richmond (WAITLISTED)

Bentley

Gettysburg
